A 17-year-old Roman Catholic teen in
Minnesota has been denied confirmation over his support for gay
marriage.

Lennon Cihak was denied the religious
rite after the Rev. Gary LaMoine at the Assumption Church in
Barnesville, Minnesota found a pro-marriage equality post on Cihak's
Facebook page.

Lennon posted a photo of himself
holding a defaced Minnesota for Marriage sign supporting passage of a
failed constitutional amendment limiting marriage to heterosexual
couples. The word “NO” was written over “YES,” and the
phrase “Marriage One Man, One Woman” was replaced with “Equal
Marriage Rights One [blank], One [blank].”
